Painted the windows and masked it off. I sprayed body in 3 light coats over the last 9 hours. Trunkish area needs help too!

Rear bumper needs reworking. Hood needs 1 more coat. Body needs good sanding. Front lens cover needs another coat (:

primer is not neccesary for paint to adhere to the surface.

I tried primer before, paint nicks off really easily from the primer. Im just being lazy, i might consider primer sometime in the future.... just going to gradually sand it back down and work on front bumper.

thats true you can get away without primer but you have to do a real got prep job. primer does help paint adhere evenly though
